Abstract
The question addressed in this collection of essays is "Did Jesus rise from the dead?" The authors examine such questions as "What did the New Testament writers mean?" "Does historical evidence establish Jesus' resurrection?" "Why would God raise Jesus?" "Was there an empty tomb?" and "What is the significance of the appearance stories?" In dealing with these questions, the authors examine the arguments of Christian apologists and theists. In summary, the authors of this book challenge the traditional orthodox view that Jesus Christ was bodily raised from the dead.
